Chapter 775: Li Hongzhang's Little Calculation

When the ministers retired from the court, there were only a few military aircraft bosses left in the hall.

Cixi seemed to ask casually: "How about the anti-Japanese army breaking through in Langfang, can there be a report?" - It was also He Changying who beat the Japanese soldiers too painfully, and if he didn't take revenge, Xiao Dongyang would not stop. ”

A few big guys who have nothing to do with themselves, all of them look at their noses and noses.

This thing is too bad, can it not be mixed blindly, rubbing and touching it will not be able to fall off the layer of skin, or as far away as it is safe.

In that year, a Hunan system emerged in the Taiping Dynasty, which controlled most of the military and political local power of the Qing Dynasty.

The court was upside down, and finally pinched and softened the Hunan system, and made Zeng shave his head.

As a result, the twist and the Westernization movement jumped up to a more difficult Beiyang Huai system.

At this time, the emperor used the Oriental provocation to make the Qing royal family half dead, and finally crippled the Huai system.

As a result, a new Beiyang and a new Huai system that seems to be more difficult to deal with will emerge again.

Pushing oneself and others, if you change this matter to yourself, of course, you are also anxious with green smoke on your head, Lafayette four or two thousand pounds, and there is nothing to say about killing an anti-Japanese army.

- Besides, who is tired and crooked, dare to say anything!

It's just that this little Oriental is too bad, I beat Ye Zhichao, Song Qing, Liu Kunyi, Li Bingheng before, and all the cattle are incomparable, but as soon as I met the anti-Japanese army, I immediately urinated.

30,000 against 4,000, still besieged the city, but as a result, not only was the prisoner of war camp easily taken by the anti-Japanese army, but all the artillery was also bombed by the anti-Japanese army.

Then he fled out of the dead city of Langfang.

What a shame!

Sun Yuwenzuo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, reported: "Emperor Qiyu, Empress Dowager Qiyu, He Changying sent a submission to Wang Wenshao, saying that the army had suffered heavy losses; The armies of Langfang, Jinmen, and Dagu all automatically withdrew to the area of Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan to block the path of the Northeast Japanese soldiers. ”

Cixi was slightly stunned, and her tone suddenly became much softer: "The army of Dagu Fort has also withdrawn?" ”

Sun Yuwen continued to kneel and played: "The Dagu South Fort is now guarded by Bian Changsheng, and the North Fort is guarded by the original Dagu Artillery Sentry; Wang Wenshao sent a telegram saying that the Jinmen Recruitment Office of the Anti-Japanese Army had stopped recruiting soldiers, and that except for the nearly 100 soldiers at the Dagu Military Station, the rest were doctors, disabled soldiers, and hundreds of wounded soldiers who were recuperating from their wounds. Wu Hongluo is also recuperating in it, and I heard that he will be able to recover soon. ”

The 'puppet' Emperor Guangxu sat on the dragon chair without saying a word.

However, the flushed blush, the slight rapid breathing, and the fire that could not be hidden in the lower eyelids revealed that his heart was not as calm as the appearance of a 'puppet'.

At this time, in the heart of this young emperor, there were three people who hated him the most.

The first to bear the brunt was the old witch sitting in the curtain behind him, who made him feel like a man.

He was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

He is twenty-five years old.

But this haunting old witch is pressed and humiliated to death, and there is no freedom and respite.

Come to think of it, this puppet has already become the laughing stock of Western countries and even the people of the world:

"Why does Lafayette have to listen to politics again?"

"I heard that I dislike the emperor for not understanding anything, not knowing anything, and all of them have come out to control the government again."

"I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, isn't that a fool?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that he is a second fool."

Just thinking about the conversation between the people of the world after dinner, Guangxu was so ashamed that he wanted to die headlong!

The second is the old thing Li Hongzhang.

The imperial court has been prosperous for decades, and has spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver to build the behemoth of Beiyang, but the result is that the outside is strong and the middle is vulnerable.

Thinking of Li Hongzhang and his large group of dogs, as well as this group of dog-legged comrades, they drank the blood of the Qing Dynasty one by one, and filled their pockets in corruption and bending the law.

Guangxu was so angry that he wanted to scrape this old thing with a knife.

Emperor Guangxu's third hatred is to hate foreigners, especially this group of shameless British, if it weren't for their lies, how could he be trapped and killed in Yanjing City by the Japanese soldiers today?

Originally, Guangxu was still counting on his love He Changying, who had the ability to turn the tide and create another miracle.

As a result, he was forced to be pressed in Langfang City by the old witch,β€”β€” how similar is this to his current situation? - As a result, 4,000 elite soldiers, plus 5,000 strong troops reinforced by Jinmen, were brutally defeated.

This is equivalent to a stick beating, completely cutting off the possibility of a reversal in the Qing Dynasty!

Just thinking about it, Guangxu was so angry that his chest felt stuffy and he wanted to vomit blood.

"The Dagu Fort can't be without a master, you take a total, and recruit soldiers when they should be recruited; As for the bereavement pension of the generals who died in battle, after the contract is signed, they will slowly add it up, and send a telegram to Wang Wenshao, and the grain and silver money of He Changying's troops will be allocated if they should be allocated, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers cannot be chilled. ”

As Cixi's words slowly came out, several military planes in the court understood ,β€”β€”that Lafayette was giving a slap in the face, and seeing He Changying, he went to Yongping Mansion obediently and interestingly, and he was going to give dates to eat.

In this way, Galeries Lafayette is still the wise and wise Lafayette!

You don't have to think about it to know that if you grow up this kid to be interesting, when the war is over, this court will inevitably have a prominent position for his kid.

It's shit luck!

On the morning of the same day, a reply telegram from Tongshu was sent to the Waihama Town Post and Telecommunications Bureau in Shimonoseki, and the message was immediately deciphered by intelligence officers from the 4th Division of the 2nd Bureau of the Toyo General Staff, who had been stationed on a special trip, and delivered to Ito Hirobumi.

When Hirobumi Ito and Mutsu Munemitsu read the telegram, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered the Maseki Telegraph Office to immediately send the original text of the telegram to the Shojiji Temple next door to the Telegraph Office.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Orient, Mutsu Munemitsu, arrived at the temple to visit Li Hongzhang and establish the armistice agreement.

Li Hongzhang proposed three amendments to the draft from the bed, except for the article that 'the Taiwan islands should also be within the scope of the armistice,' the other two articles are indifferent subsections.

Li Hongzhang put forward the other two minor issues together on the big matter of Taiwan, and in fact, it was also after careful consideration.

Because he absolutely did not expect that Toyo would not grant the request that 'Taiwan is also within the scope of the armistice.'

However, in order to avoid being scolded by the people in the country, Li Hongzhang must also have to protect his 'ideas'.

Even if it's just pretending and deceiving yourself!

However, if only this improvement is mentioned, and then rejected by the East, wouldn't it be that the Qing Dynasty and he Li Hongzhang have no face?

Therefore, he added two more things that were not a matter, so it was equivalent to the Oriental rejection of one and the approval of two, which seemed to be an 'equal' negotiation of a truce between Qing and Japan.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty 'won' two and 'lost' one, and in general, it was still a small victory of 'having a lining, having face'.

Hearing Li Hongzhang's little tricks, a smile (sneer) appeared on the corner of Mutsu Zongguang's mouth, if he hadn't seen the call back from the Qing Dynasty royal family before, Mutsu Zongguang might really think that this old man was going to protect Taiwan to the death.

As a result, Mutsu Zongguang was unwilling to talk to Li Hongzhang in vain, and said directly and categorically: "Except for the request to extend the scope of the truce to the Southern Expeditionary Army, that is, the Taiwan Islands; Other unimportant terms are not a problem. ”

"Sure enough!"

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but be slightly proud of his old ways, deliberately pretended to struggle, and then sighed with a long sigh of 'sad and unwilling'.
